HOOLIGANSHIP

I just saw the coolest fucking DVD ever. It’s by Hooliganship. I bought it at Foodhole after I just missed Extreme Animals, who Marius tells me sound like Lighting Bolt doing techno, which is something I want to see, and, again, missed. But yeah, I heard the Hooliganship track on Bro Zone, which is all steel drums and summer vibes and I saw this kid carrying a bunch of CDs that said “Hooliganship” on them, so I went to buy one and realized I had no money. Thankfully dude was super nice and gave it to me on credit. Got home, put it in my computer and the DVD player started instead of Winamp and a very loud squeeling sound came out of my speakers followed by 20 mins or so of MIND-MELTINGLY AWESOME MUSIC VIDEO TRIPPINESS. It’s all rainbow-colored video game psych, sort of like what E*Rock and Paper Rad (or for that matter Wyld File, which is both of them together) do, but on some special Hooligan tip.

Totally the most entertaining and beautiful 20 mins I’ve spent in front of my computer in, um, a very long time. These guys are awesome!

OPP = Other People’s Postcards

I found this yesterday at Really Good Stuff on Hawthorne. I love looking at other people’s postcards. This one had me from the start – who sends a trippy postcard like this? As it turns out, a pretty trippy and awesome person by the name of John F. Barrett. On June 6th, 1988, John was verging on an awesome summer, couch-surfing in Eugene, putting the money saved on rent towards a motorcycle named Freckle, hitching, staying up all night in in a desperate “probe for truth” with someone named Suzanne, “deriving pleasure” from the first Iron Maiden album, and getting ready to cycle cross the USA. In short: living the dream. John, if you ever find this, email me. I’ve got your life over here, and it’s sounding pretty badass.
